Thoughts on Samoa Joe:

“I have utmost respect for Samoa Joe. He is a tough dude in every sense of the word because you see the aspect of him in the ring and you know that is a guy you don’t want to mess with and that is exactly how he is in the ring. He is snug, he is tough, he is hard, he’s strong and I’ve always been considered the underdog and even before I became a professional wrestler, always in wrestling school I was the smallest kid in the class and that is how I raised. I was raised to always be in there with bigger guys so one thing I have to say is whether it is Joe or anybody else it doesn’t scare me in the fact that I’ve always been the smallest one but I know I can bring it when it is time to bring it.

Perfecting his role as the ultimate underdog:

“The amount of guys that I worked with throughout my career in the U.S and Mexico as well because in Mexico even though the wrestlers aren’t as big as they are here. in the States, I was always considered the smaller one in the ring. I’ve always had a size disadvantage but the amount of guys that I worked with and have learned along the way it is incredible you know like the Eddie’s (Guerrero) Benoit, Jericho, Kurt Angle, The Undertaker and even Triple H it has been a variety of talent that I’ve been able to face throughout my thirty years that I’ve been very blessed and have learned so much just being in the ring against them or teaming up with some of these superstars.”
